KELOWNA - Crews have begun making ice at the popular Stuart Park outdoor rink in Kelowna with opening planned for next week.

City crews will be working afternoon shifts from 4 p.m. to midnite at Stuart Park over the next few days readying the rink for an opening Tuesday, Dec. 1, according to arenas supervisor Steve Fagan in a media release.

New this year is a fire pit located rinkside. Crews are making final adjustments on the gas-fired appliance before opening it to the public, Fagan says.
